Adding to basket
Appoline is a client of the microfinance institution Hekima and is group representative of the banque villageoise Salama. She is 38 years old, married and has two children who are both enrolled in school. Her partner is a driver.
She established her business selling pagne cloth twelve years ago, using start-up funds she received from the Hekima program to support her business, which has been developing progressively. With this new loan, she will buy a supply of 30 pieces of pagne cloth, which will strengthen her initial capital. The challenge of her business is linked to unpaid debts.
She would like her children to continue their studies and wants to build a house. Finally, she wishes to thank Hekima and its partners for the support shown to business owners without access to traditional banking facilities in the context of the global crisis caused by covid-19.
